Official PA TV program Good Morning Jerusalem

Official PA TV reporter: “Prisoner Khaled Bastami (i.e., terrorist, wounded 4) was first arrested during the Al-Aqsa Intifada in 2000 (i.e., PA terror campaign 2000-2005, more than 1,100 Israelis murdered). He was one of the stone children (i.e., rock-throwing children) even before he was 14. Afterwards he continued throughout his entire life to be in the front lines of every confrontation– to the point that he would run away from school in order to resist the occupier and his invasions.

Khaled, who is the father of two children, withstood many injuries over the years, and one of them remained on his body as testimony to the occupier’s terror. His last arrest was in 2015, after he carried out a stabbing operation that wounded 4 settlers…

Khaled was saved from certain death following the wild and lethal attack against him by the settlers, who ran him over and struck him… and the occupation did not make do with this but rather arrested his young brother Majd as well and attacked him…

Khaled’s wounds did not help him, and he was forced to undergo interrogation while in the hospital bed, and there he shouted at them saying: ‘My intent was to become a Martyr for the sake of Allah and the homeland.’ …

Khaled Bastami… did not break… and in prison he achieved a matriculation certificate and is currently completing a BA degree in social studies. He is also learning art.”
